RemBoot: Remote Reboot Utility

Overview and Benefits

The Remote Reboot Utility ("RemBoot") is a software product which runs on a dedicated IP number and port and, upon authenticated request, reboots the computer. Once installed on a server running Windows, RemBoot is controlled over HTTPS using any web browser. All you need is a connection to the Internet and your login details to reboot the computer.

Requirements and/or Compatible Software

RemBoot runs on Microsoft Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/2008/Vista.

The utility installs as a service.

RemBoot requires approximately 2 mb hard disk space for installation and approximately 1.5 mb RAM during operation. People say that it has a small footprint.

FREE Demo Info / Screenshots

To give you a quick idea of how the Remote Reboot Utility works, we are including screen shots that show what it looks like when you login, and after you press the reboot button.

The first step is to use a web browser to trigger RemBoot over HTTPS:

The second step is to press the reboot button. This will lead to a confirmation screen, telling you that RemBoot has taken action. Within a few seconds, your computer will shutdown and restart. RemBoot will ask each running application to close (so that database changes are saved, etc.). If the applications do not respond, RemBoot will force them to end so that the shutdown procedure succeeds even if there is a severe application error pending.

Here is an example confirmation screen (in this case confirming that the settings were reloaded).
